An attractively fresh and ripe nose offers up notes of violet, plum and earth. The dense, serious and sappy medium-bodied flavors possess an abundance of old vine extract, all wrapped in a lightly stony, structured and youthfully austere finale. This is a quality Pommard villages.

The 2016 Pommard Les Perrières has a high-toned, iodine-scented bouquet – more blue fruit here than black. The palate has juicy ripe tannin, supple and rounded, a little glossy in texture but with satisfying weight on the plush finish. It does not quite have complexity of Xavier's Premier Crus but it sure packs in a lot of fruit for a Village Cru.
